Phoenix Keating...with 20's glamorous silhouette beautifully made-fabric is sheer and very this century. Can see why Lady Gaga wore something from this designer while touring Australia.

For his New York debut, Phoenix Keating (www.PhoenixKeating.com) created a unique collection of apparel and accessories titled “Vaudevillian,” which is rooted in a story told in the future and the past, where androids have developed intelligence, taking human form and adapting physically while still embodying a cool, analytic exterior made impossible by human emotion.

It’s with such drama that Keating presents an ultra-modern collection that is still heavily inspired by the 1920s. Referencing Josephine Baker, Keating combines divergent influences, among them Ms. Baker’s perseverance through the tumultuous 20s, and the Vaudeville circuit, paired with unlikely counterparts like futuristic machine-like androids clothed in riveted metal sheets, and Japanese Geishas with traditional English fabrics and kimono techniques.
